The Senior Class of Saint Paul’s College Presents TIGER ’66 Our sincere appreciation is extended to every¬ one who helped the class of 1966 in the publica- Contents tion of Tiger ’66.

Func¬ tional Christian character, functional intellect, and functional skill in living cre¬ atively and in contributing creatively to family, community, and the world are the goals which the College seeks in the development of every student. Buildings are just bui ' ’ igs; they are nothing with¬ out the personalities who inhabit them and make them come alive with activity. This is Saint Paul’s College. A college can not exist without its students, and the essence of college is symbolized in its seniors. Here it is not uncommon to walk down a hall and listen to students whose conversations range from the lastest classroom assignment, the latest fashion to their latest solution to the problems of mankind. Life here is a variety of people, places and things. Four years ago, we came from all parts of the coun¬ try. We have been able to live and work together and to form life long friendships. Spring will mark the culminating point of our experiences at Saint Paul ' s. Some seniors will venture out into the business world and the world of the teacher. Others will seek suc¬ cess in the professions, such as medicine and law. Yes, this is Saint Paul ' s College, and it is slipping by ever so fast now. Soon it will be a part of the past, but our memories will aways be a part of the present. Every Saint Paulite possesses a love for his college and what she stands for and what she teaches him to stand for. In this Annual, we hope to capture and render to you a picture of the life we lead as students of Saint Paul ' s College. Leslie D. Smith, Jr. Editor-in-Chief 3 mmm A Scene from the Homecoming Coronation Thelma Thomas, Miss Homecoming The students of Saint Paul ' s make it what it is. The atmosphere is one of friendliness and warmth. There is a continuing flux of activity. The dormitory walls are bursting with a milieu of laughter, sorrow, serious studying, record playing and bull sessions. A student with arms full of books crosses the rolling hills of the cam¬ pus many times in search of knowledge. But there is also time for fun and pageantry; time to crown a homecoming queen or a fraternity queen. Left to right: Gloria Davis, Kappa Sweetheart; Pearlie Claiborne, Alpha Sweetheart; Jacqueline Howerton, Omega Sweetheart. 4 When the long day is safely over, there are moments of relaxation. A student browses through the library, plays a variety of games or simply sits down to friendly chatter. At other times the roar of the student body fills the gym as the Tigers score another basket. Soon a bell will be heard, tolling out the news of a Tiger victory. At times there is the colorfulness of fraternity and sorority lines, and the excitement of All-Greek Day. There are other times in a student ' s experiences here. Times when he feels that he stands alone. He searches within himself and finds that there is not strength for every trial. Yet in the quietness of chapel, far from the turbulance of campus life, he looks above and finds again the visions of his destiny. 5 Dedication To Our Parents And Advisors To those who loved the best; To those who gave the most; To those who ignited within our hearts, hope; We the class of 1966 dedicate this book. It was your wisdom that plotted the course; It was your prayers that lighted our eternal flames; It was your experience that guided our feet aright; For this we submit our sincere appreciation. For your Christ-like ears that listened so well and understood our problems; For your Sampson-like shoulders, upon which we leaned so heavily,- For your Solomon-like minds that helped to solve the unsolvable: We pledge, in your honor, our intentions toward success. On the landmark that distinguishes this milestone in each of our lives, Dear Parents and Advisors— We write your names. Shirlene W. Watkins Administration President Earl H.

McClenney and his Family President’s Message orricz or nu SAINT PAUL ' S COLLEGE LAWRENCE VILLE, VIRGINIA 2S8M February 18, 1966 The 1966 Senior Class Saint Paul ' s College Lawrenceville, Virginia Dear Friends: These are times of unparalleled challenges, opportunities, and perils in the world. There is nothing in man ' s recorded history even remotely to approach the changes, the progress, and the tribulations, too, of the mid-Twentieth Century. These are times of small wars and rumors of potentially cataclysmic holocausts. It is also an era that envisions The Great Society and the hoped-for leaps ahead in education, standards of living, beautification, and conservation; the wars on disease and the pollution of our waters and the air we breathe; the assault on Outer Space and journeys to the stars and planets whose distances from Earth are difficult to comprehend; and a whole galaxy of steps to insure man ' s dignity, equality, broadened opportunity, and longer life expectancy. It is not being pessimistic to link any of the somber and sobering references above to things which are part of man ' s innermost dreams and aspirations. The world in which you live—and in which, shortly, you will labor—is that kind of world. When Commencement comes there is happiness, and deservedly so. Commencement is in truth a landmark, but by definition it is also a major begin¬ ning for each of you. What is important is what the Epistles remind us: He has half the deed done, who has made a beginning. As the next group of undergraduates who will shortly enter that splendid family of Saint Paul ' s Alumni, permit me to speak, first, of what Saint Paul ' s has sought to do on your behalf as future citizens and, second, something of your continuing relationship to Alma Mater—a relationship which entails obligations. Just as the Nation and the world community can, if man ' s avarice and prone¬ ness to conflict can be contained, reach near-Utopian peace and prosperity, so is Saint Paul ' s College on the near verge of great growth and expansion for the benefit of the ever-burgeoning waves of college-bound youths. The College has endeavored to do more than teach you by rote; it has sought to provide you with a broadening, liberalizing education. It has tried to infuse you with a progressive maturity that has nothing to do with the calendar, but a maturity in intellectual outlook, in moral certitudes, in spiritual values. Having said that, I come now to the question. What Next?, after that day in May when the bachelor ' s degree is conferred upon you to the Glory of Almighty The 1966 Senior Class Page 2 February 18, 1966 God. Saint Paul ' s, like all colleges, must and, I am confident, will have the continuing and increased financial support of those who have been trained here in skills, attitudes, and values during their undergraduate years. We, for our part, have too much faith in your thinking processes, which have been honed in your years on-campus, to belabor the point of the absolute necessity of Alumni support, unwanlng interest, and financial assistance. I will add only this: The spirit of duty and the sense of opportunity presented by those who observe the practice of tithing must pervade every alumnus. Each one who has lived, learned, and in turn left Saint Paul ' s must confess a shortcoming which I do not, in fact, believe exists. In any case, you should be not only grateful for the education which you received, but you must be greatly concerned with broadening the chances for sound education for today ' s and tomorrow ' s youths of all classes, creeds, and colors. Wherever you may be or whatever you may be doing, the lasting good will of Saint Paul ' s will be with you steadily. May God go with you all, all the way. Earl H. McClenney President EHM:ebm 9 LA WHENCE V1LLE, VIRGINIA 23868 February 15, 1966 PY ci Sincerely yours. Percy Young A Percy Young Dean of the College The Graduating Class of 1966 Saint Paul ' s College Lawrenceville, Virginia Dear Seniors You are among the select few who are granted the privilege of graduating from college. This is a privilege, but it is also a responsibility, because you will be expected to display the traits of an educated person, and to make the contributions to society that educated people are prepared to make. May I congratulate you on this high level of educational attainment and wish for you the greatest success in all your endeavors.

In the tradition of education, the depart¬ ment seeks to educate the student so that he will in turn shape and influence the lives of other individuals. To this end, a Student Teaching Program is em¬ phasized which gives the student an op¬ portunity to make effective use of prin¬ ciples given him in the classroom. English The Department of English seeks to enlarge a students cultural development through intelligent and personal experi¬ ence with some of the valuable litera¬ ture of our language. In addition, it seeks to guide the student toward a more effective expression of his own thoughts and ideas. In our world today, it is not enough to be fluent in one lan¬ guage. The college, therefore, encour¬ ages the student to pursue a study of at least one or more foreign languages. Left to right: Miss Louise Lewis, Mrs. Percy Young, Mr. Love Lage, Miss Jeannette L. Cole, Chairman; Mr. P. B. Young, and Mr. William Wilson. 1 16 Social Science The Social Sciences deal with man in society. The Department of Social Science seeks to prepare the student to play a role in the drama of social life. To play that role well, the student must know the nature of man, his aspirations and his accomplishments. It is hoped that such knowledge will provide a broad back¬ ground for the student, and inspire him with hope and faith in his own ability to achieve physical, moral, intellectual, artistic and spiritual excellence. From left to right: Dr. Pearl Chen, Chairman,- Mrs. Arabella Cooley, Mr. Woodrow Packer, Father Alexander Easley, and Mr. Cyril Griffith. Natural Science Science and mathematics are the chal¬ lenges of our modern age. All students should have knowledge of both in order to be conservant in his field whether it is in the humanities, social sciences, edu¬ cation, etc. In today’s accelerated world, The Department of Natural Science ful¬ fills a glaring need for efficiency in this area.

Parker, Mr. William Samuel and Mr. Harold Witten. 17 Left to right: Mr. Lonnie Parker, Mrs. Sadie Floyd, Mrs. Virginia H. Russell, Chairman; Mr. James Kyle, Jr., Miss Eliza Fisher, and Mr. Clyde W. Vaughan. Business and Economics Through its three programs of study, the Department of Business and Eco¬ nomics seeks to prepare students for . gainful employment and effective citi¬ zenship in a highly competitive and ever- changing society. The program in General Business aids in preparing students for managerial po¬ sitions in private business, government, and industry. Business Education is de¬ signed to prepare teachers of business subjects on the secondary level; the Sec¬ retarial Science program seeks to pre¬ pare competent secretaries. Music and Art Our country is now becoming recog¬ nized as the leader of the world in the arts as well as the sciences. Music and art flourishes as a part of our national life. The importance of music and art is hard to measure in practical terms, but to the enhancement and perpetuation of culture, music and art are invaluable.

VIRGINIA - 23868 November 22 , 1965 Jty dear Seniors, We have labored hard to-gether for four years in prepara¬ tion for this great day. Working with you has been a challenge as well as a groat source of pleasure. I know that it is with a feeling of mixed emotions that you look forward to the end of your college career. As you make your final exit through these portals and vacate the beloved surroundings of your Alma Kater, the days which lie ahead will afford many opportunities for you to serve, to live commendable lives, and to weave your talents into the social fabric for its betterment. Yes, at times the threads will become snarled and the pattern will seem a little distorted but always remember the words of the poet who said: — If the pattern of life looks dark to you And the threads seem twisted and queer To the One who is planning the whole design, It ' s perfectly plain and clear — For it ' s all a part of God ' s loving plan. When He works in His threads of gray, And they ' ll only make brighter the rose and gold Of another happier day. Mich success and God ' s blessings. Sincerely, Arabella W. Cooley Sponsor 20 Sitting: Thomas Morris, Vice-President; Irving Richardson, President; Rebecca Fitzgerald, Secretary; James N.

The officers of the Coun¬ cil are elected in the spring and are installed in the fall. Each class is represented in the body. The primary function of the organization is to consider areas of special interest to the students and the administration and to formulate policies acceptable to both groups. Pre-Alumni Club A strong and enthusiastic Alumni is important to a college. Saint Paul’s is no exception to this rule. Therefore, students must be acquainted with the re¬ sponsibilities they will face as future Alumni. This is the pur¬ pose of the Pre-Alumni Club. 56 Nellie Pratt Russell S-VTA Prospective teachers are considered an inte¬ gral part of the Virginia Teachers Association. The S-VTA provides a medium for interested students to learn extensively about the teaching profession and its innovations. Saint Paul’s Chapter, established in 1953 as the Future Teachers of America is named in honor of Mrs. Nellie Pratt Russell, retired English teacher and former advisor of the organization. Over the years, Saint Paul ' s College has been noted for it warmth and friendliness. Much of the credit for this reputation can be given to the Hostess Committee. Because of the work of this committee no stranger or visitor to our campus should ever feel uneasy. A warm welcome awaits all guests of Saint Paul ' s College. H o s t e s s 57 Phi Beta Lambda The Alpha Rho Chapter of Phi Beta Lambda was established at Saint Paul’s in 1962. Its purpose is to develop better business leaders through supplementing classroom instructions with practical business experiences. The members of the Marie Jane McNeil Library Club inherited a rich tradition dating from 1946. Realizing that knowledge is the key to success, members of the Club seek to acquire extensive knowledge through reading as a leisure time ac¬ tivity. As Francis Bacon said, “Reading maketh a full man. Marie Jane McNeil Library Club 58 Women’s Judiciary Board The Women ' s Judiciary Board is an organization of representatives from the various classes. The Board’s function is to aid in democratic dormitory adminis¬ tration. It plans activities, programs and projects of benefit to the women residents and the student body. This year, a new feature has been added in Emery Hall, the Senior Mentors, or better known as “wise counselors. s The Student Journal The Student Journal holds a unique position in the life of Saint Paul ' s College in that it attempts to provide a panorama of the news and activities of the school year. It is also an outlet for creative expression. There are such writings as editorials, columns, feature articles and poetry. This year the campus paper has set a record of achievement that will be hard to match in future years. This has been due to the teamwork of the staff and the able direction of the Editor. Randolph Edmonds Player’s Guild The tradition that the Randolph Edmonds Player ' s Guild has inherited is a rich one. Ran¬ dolph Edmonds for whom the guild is named is a talented artist and a gifted teacher. The goals of the guild and the life of Mr. Edmonds are al¬ most synonymous. The Negro drama is now certainly a part of America ' s literary tradition and the guild endeavors to carry forward this great tradition. A series of plays during this school year has provided the college family with quality entertainment. 60 Who’s Who Seniors Miss Jacquelyn Brooks Recognition by WHO S WHO AMONG STUDENTS IN AMERICAN COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES means that the student was first recommended from the university or college he attends and then accepted by the organization. Nominating committees consider the stu¬ dent ' s scholarship, his leadership and co¬ operation in educational and extra-curricu¬ lar activities, his general citizenship, and his promise for future usefulness. The four seniors at Saint Paul’s who merited the award this year are examples of the outstanding college student. This college has benefited by their presence, and they will carry with them the mark of Saint Paul’s through the endeavors of their future life. We are proud of these students and congratulate them for a job well done. Miss Thelma Thomas Miss Pearlie Claiborne Leslie D. Smith, Jr. Science Club Science and mathematics have made remarkable advances in our lifetime. The Science Club, a group of Natural Science majors, endeavors to keep abreast of the changes that are taking place in this area of man ' s life. 61 The Altar Guild The Alcolyte Guild 62 The Tau Society The Tau Society is devoted to inspiring within its member the idea of Christian service. Its members who represent varying denominations, take part in spiritual, social and cultural activi¬ ties. There are such projects as “College Day , and the giving of food baskets to the needy in the community. By its dedication to principles of Christian love and charity, The Tau Society has become one of the largest and most re¬ spected organizations on campus. Inter-Fraternal The Inter-Fraternal Council is responsible for the formulation of rules and regulations govern¬ ing fraternities and sororities. Representatives of the six Greek letter organizations join with Mr. T. H. E. Jones who first organized the Coun¬ cil, in pursuing aims and objectives common to all Greeks. Founding and History of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Since its humble beginning more than a half a century ago, Alpha Kappa Alpha women, all over the world still strive to uphold their cher¬ ished precepts. The desire for SERVICE TO ALL MANKIND . . . initiated 16 young women on the campus of Howard University January 16, 1908, to establish the first Greek-letter organization for Negro College women. The twenty-nine sorors of Alpha Upsilon Chap¬ ter combine their efforts in a sincere dedication to cultivate and encourage high scholastic, cul¬ tural ethical and moral standards. IVY LEAF CLUB 64 Phi Alpha Fraternity Through the years, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity has stood as a beaconing light to college men across the nation and across the world. Founded at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, Decem¬ ber 4, 1906, Alpha was the first Greek letter fraternity for Negro college men, becoming in¬ terracial in 1945. Out of the collective personali¬ ties of Cornell came the founding Jewels. They were: Henry A. CaMis, George B. Kelley, Charles H. Chapman, Vertner W. Tandy, Nathaniel A. Murray, Eugene K. Jones, and Robert H. Ogle. Here at Saint Paul’s, Delta Tau Chapter was founded November 22, 1952. Like the Jewels of old, the brothers are dedicated to Manly deeds, scholarship and love for all mankind. Alpha has participated in every progressive movement for good, staged on the American scene since its founding, and her sons have been in the forefront of every outstanding civic po¬ litical, religious and social endeavor. Founding and History of Alpha THE SPHINX CLUB 65 A History of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority At the inception of Delta Sigma Theta in 1913 at Howard University, the founders envisioned an organization of college women pledged to serious endeavor and community service. These youthful students demonstrated a vital concern for social welfare, academic excellence, and cul¬ tural enrichment, and de-emphasized the social side of sorority life. Their ideals of scholarship and service withstood the test of time, and today Delta Sigma Theta is a public service sorority, dedicated to a program of sharing membership skills and organizational service in the public interest. In 1930, Delta Sigma Theta was incor¬ porated as a national organization. The record of. incorporation is filed in the Congressional Library in the Office of the Recorder of Deeds in Washington, D. C. Today, there are over 35 thousand members, and 275 chapters in 38 states, and the Republic of Haiti and Liberia. On January 12, 1963 at its fiftieth Anniversary cele¬ bration in Washington, D. C., President John F. Kennedy, the guest of honor, congratulated the organization on its “service to the country.” THE PYRAMID CLUB 66 A History of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity The Omega Psi Phi Fraternity was organized Friday evening, November 17, 1911, in the office of Ernest E.

The true meaning of Christmas was brought forth, instilling in the audience with the real meaning of this joyous season. The prophecy foretold 74 The cast takes a bow Spring has come to Saint Paul ' s, and with it, a rush of activity. To the senior it is the close of one era and the beginning of another. As a freshman he comes in con¬ tact with a vast body of knowledge. As a sopho¬ more and junior, he con¬ tinues to struggle upward. In his senior year, his pur¬ pose for being here gels in his mind. He departs from Saint Paul ' s not as he came —but as a man prepared for life in the truest sense. 76 if Do You Remember - Mary S. Harrison and Constance E.

I can truly say that editing this book will be one of my memorable experiences here at Saint Paul’s College. The yearbook was put together by a faithful and uncomplaining team. A group of seniors provided the nucleus around which the staff rallied. These in¬ cluded Julia Butler, Shirlene Watkins, Carolyn Williams, Agnes Bailey, Gloria Davis, Rebecca Fitzgerald, Betty Slayton, Irving Richardson, William Watkins, and Preston Moore. The special art work was done by John Cason. A special thanks is sent to Floyd Parks, a member of the freshman class, who lent his time and photographic talent to the success of this year’s annual. These were the nucleus of workers, however there are always other staff mem¬ bers who do a number of things that go unrecorded. Thanks to all of you also. I hope you, the student body, will enjoy TIGER ' 66. It is a representative picture of our college and of the lives we lead as Saint Paulites. I hope that in the years to come, you will from time to time take it off the shelf and re-live the glory of the 1965-66 academic year at Saint Paul ' s College. Leslie D.
